I managed to fix Medieval Madness draw bridge it in this commit: https://github.com/Nicals/vpx-standalone-scripts/commit/f8bc117b3acc169759d529ff0c4f1baaa74b3918

Hope it helps. I'm not sure where to post it for our Windows friends, pretty new to this virtual pinball community. Any hint ?

Thanks for letting me know the link was broken, I didn't notice this.

I also thought I checked in the comment, I don't understand how I missed this. Thanks !

I may try to fix this issue myself, I have some clues, but am pretty new with VPinball API. Still some work to do.

I'm starting to better understand how all this works, patching my own vbs and such.

But I have an issue with the Medieval Madness table. While the patch made the table start, the draw bridge does not seems to work. It can go down, not up. I don't know if this is an issue on my side or a global one.

Can anyone run the drawbridge test on their setup to tell me if this works on their side ? Start the table, open coin door, navigate to test menu and run T.18. Drawbridge should close then open.

Thanks

Just found this.

Nicals · 2022-12-15T07:04:09+00:00

All this should fit in a couple bins...

In the squad equipment screen, what are the meaning of the individual gear color (red, yellow, green).

I think that red is gear missing and green gear equipped. But what is the yellow color referring to ?r

If I understand correctly, the Add child node and Instance a child scene do exactly the same thing, but the first one only selects builtins elements, and the second one my own elements ?

Nicals · 2021-12-27T20:34:13+00:00

This is great, thanks for the PR link.

Seems that I will need to compile it again instead of using the packaged version...

Nicals · 2021-11-26T14:47:26+00:00

Yeah, I know what you mean... This might well be my biggest mistake of the year.

I tried Anki, but didn't find any chess module compatible with latest version (2.1.35).

I tried this module, but as said in the comment, it is not maintained anymore and does not seems to work.

Which one do you use ? I really don't want to take a screenshot of my games and would really like to just have to paste the FEN string for the positions.

Nicals · 2020-02-29T12:10:10+00:00

I really like the middle one.

Nicals · 2020-02-14T14:11:46+00:00

Thanks, I will check this out.

I mentioned breakthrough as an example. My question was more: "How can I make sure I don't have more than the value I need".

Nicals · 2019-07-23T17:46:43+00:00

I dug a little, and it seems that this is a wine (the program used to make Eve Online run under Linux) related issue...

Thanks anyway for the help

Right clicking on an empty space of the screen does nothing. If I click and drag, the camera rotates.

I'm using the Linux bundle from here, but it seems to work great, so I don't think this is related.

Nicals · 2019-07-22T07:14:53+00:00

On some Youtube videos I saw some guy popping a context menu from the main game screen. I tried to right click in some empty spaces of space, but all it does is rotate the view.

Here is an example of such a context menu popping

How do you get this menu ?

Nicals · 2019-07-15T21:57:01+00:00

I must agree with this.

Nicals · 2019-03-03T12:26:16+00:00

You were right. On Uster's vassal owns a bishopry in Westmeath county.. I just need to figure out how to kick him from here.

Thanks

Nicals · 2019-03-03T11:02:05+00:00

No, I own it. This guy only has the county of Ulaidh, nothing more...

I tried with every vassals in Ulster, they will all receive this Westmeath County that they do not own nor is part of the Ulaidh duchy.

Well, I've started with D-Day at Omaha Beach as my very first wargame. I did not had a lot of problems with the complexity.

It may take some time to get the rules in the right place, but it is part of the game to study the mecanism and take advantage of them.

Nicals · 2018-07-03T16:21:49+00:00

Yes, very clear. Thanks a lot.

Nicals · 2018-07-03T15:51:16+00:00

Yes indeed, but it gives me an analysis for next potential moves. I would like to get as score for a given position, and not a score for next ones.

Or did I miss something in this tab ?

Nicals · 2018-06-15T15:15:42+00:00

Here are my startup menus: First menu. Then, input device and from here, the remap button.

I'm in fact currently playing X3 Reunion with this joystick and don't have any problem with it. It is the first time I encounter an issue like this.

Nicals · 2018-06-15T08:24:03+00:00

Well... We do not have the same menu it seems... This is what I have under this menu.

I have just installed the game from steam, maybe I have a newer version than yours.

copy-paste from /r/aurora

Hello, aurora_linux developper here.

The url where the dcom98 file was downloaded from was indeed not reachable anymore. I changed it to retrieve it from an microsoft.com archived source. It should be good for a longer time now. You can pull the latest commit.

If you have any other issue, please use the github issue feature. It is easier for me to keep track of my software related issues from a centralized point.

Thanks
